Cats & Dogs (film series)

The Cats & Dogs film series consists of spy-comedies, produced by Warner Bros. Entertainment, including two theatrical films, and one straight-to-home video release. Centered around a conflict of the ages between the titular species, the plot involves agents of two opposing covert operations agencies of rival animals. The teams of spies work together, unbeknownst to its human inhabitants.

The first film was met with mixed critical reception. Praise was directed at its watchability for an audience of all ages, as well as its concept, creativity and effective use of special effects. Overall it fared well at the box office. Conversely, the second installment was met with mostly negative critical reviews with criticism for its clichéd formulaic plot, while receiving praise for its "faster, funnier" nature, but was a box office flop. The third film was met with overwhelming negative reviews with criticism directed towards its story plot, its use of juvenile humor, poor CGI special effects, and unoriginality. Despite this, George Lopez's role in the story was noted as a redeeming contribution to the film. As the film was a straight-to-video release, its sales compared to its budget lost money for the studio.
